Can a woman get pregnant if intercourse happens outside her period days? Which time in the menstrual cycle has the highest chance of pregnancy?

Asked by Female, 24 · 5 hours ago

Yes, a woman can get pregnant even if intercourse happens outside her period. In fact, pregnancy is more likely during the middle part of the menstrual cycle, not during the period itself. This is because of a process called ovulation, when the ovary releases an egg. Sperm can live inside the woman's body for up to 4-5 days, so if intercourse happens a few days before ovulation, the sperm can still meet the egg and lead to pregnancy. The highest chance of pregnancy is during the fertile window, which includes about 4-5 days before ovulation and the day ovulation occurs. In a regular 28-day cycle, this is usually around day 10 to day 15 (counting the first day of the period as day 1), but it can vary from person to person. Having intercourse every 1-2 days during this time gives the best chance of pregnancy.
